Calculates the population variance[1] of the values in a data set.
Syntax:
VARP( list )
Returns the population variance of the values in the list
list may be a range of cells, an array, or a comma-separated list of values (which may contain cell references and also ranges of cells as one or more of its elements).
Formula:
VARP, σ² = ( n⋅i ∑1n (xi2) − (i ∑1n xi)2 ) ∕ n2
where n is the number of values and xi is the i‑th value.
Example:
VARP(A1:A15)
returns the population variance of the cells in the range A1:A15
